St Kilda condemns Frawley's joke about Caroline Wilson

Post: # 1620959Post Bluthy »

The St Kilda Football Club, were Frawley is a specialist defensive coach, slammed the comments.

"The comments were completely inappropriate, cringe-worthy and could barely be in more contrast with our club values," St Kilda said in a statement to SEN.

"We called Danny as soon as we learned about the comments to express our views and will meet with him again during the week to discuss how harmful these comments are. We understand Danny has publicly apologised and regrets his comments."

I'd have laughed it off as a bit of banter, but Caro apparently took great offence.

Spudder apparently rang her and apologised before this all blew up. Move along

The big tough boy in this is Damien Barrett. He refused at the time to join along in the bulls*** banter. Good on him!

Caro apparently did take offence. However they did the exact same schtick on 3AW with Caro, and it was apparently a great laugh.


*Allegedly.

This is becoming a joke and Caro is being made to look stupid by her over reaction towards this.

Seems like it comes on the back of some criticism of Collingwood by Caro (or at least that's her take), and if so, is a pretty piss poor effort by a club CEO. A bit sensitive is Ed, so why can't others around him be similarly 'sensitive'.

All in all, crap banter, deserves a whack...shame we had to get hit by the shrapnel though!

I'd be happy to see Ed keep his job...and the Pies stripped of their Women's team license. :wink:

Correct and people that are jumping on the Caro support train are getting made look foolish.

I despise Caro but the comments were unacceptable. If someone said that about my wife or daughter I'd be furious.

It's a shame spud was involved.

Deadly.

If somebody jokingly said they'd hold my daughter underwater or pay money to throw bombs at her I would tell them to buck up

If your daughter wrote articles and spoke in the media weekly often provoking and questioning others she would be fair game just as anyones son would be.

What an idiotic comment

So because she is a journalist who questions and provokes she deserves it, isn't that her job

You might be fighting a losing battle Curly...fact is, seems to be a clear case of retribution for criticism levelled at Collingwood in the press, as the victim Caro has the right to decide how she responds. She doesn't seem to think its much of a joke, our club doesn't think so either. Eddie's the one that looks weak, he lead the charge in front of his two boof-head mates, who have at least had the character to man up and apologize already.

Caro, whether she's good or bad, cops a huge amount of crap due to the fact she's one of the few female journalists in the industry, so is a soft target. Ed picked her out above any personality past, present, or fictitious, plus journalists like Barrett, Robbo, etc. any number of people who've taken a shot at his club recently. I don't think anyone should laud this goose picking out soft targets for lame banter...it's just bullying. In his position, he should be showing more respect.

Anyways, I noticed the AFL press conference has been pulled, so maybe Eddie's finally prepared an apology? Shame, I was quite keen to see Brad Scott get a whack too! :D

Caro is pointing fingers while ignoring her own banter. Clearly anyone can see she is simply grabbing the sympathy vote while still potting two blokes she continues to pot. There in lies the double standards. Why arent we here supporting Robbo or Barret when Frawley and co have a crack at him? Why arent we outraged that they call Brownless Fat?

Fundamentally women have been subject to abuse and predjeduce since the dawn of our time. Middle class white males have not.

That is why you do not make light of these comments. Similarly the goods guerrilla / booing. Calling billy fat is very different, very different indeed

Not over me getting stuck into him...

...have they joked they'll pay money to see him murdered? There wouldn't be much outrage if he apologized for upsetting her...why hasn't he? Collingwood privileges?
